Future outlook:
According to SunSirs, acetone prices are expected to remain weaker next week. From a supply perspective, domestic production capacity remained relatively stable, imports were gradually replenishing, and port inventories remained high. From a demand perspective, downstream bisphenol A and isopropanol production capacity increased, while MIBK prices fluctuated slightly. However, overall procurement remained primarily based on demand. However, demand for solvent products will improve after the hot weather subsides. From a cost perspective, the benzene market weakening. As of August 18, the acetone market is at a low level and is expected to remain stable or experience a narrow upward trend next week.
